This from Eric Haak:
Six Gary fire stations have been adorned with new indicator placards to coincide with their switch to a consolidated Lake County dispatch system. 86 for Headquarters, 87 on Squad 2, 89 on Engine 4, 96 on Engine 11, 97 on Engine 12 and 98 on Engine 13. The other in-service stations did not have these placards on them as of 11/07 and I do not know if they will be getting them. I will share pictures of the other stations in a different post. I am not someone who is in the know, just a casual observer. I am sure some of the other experts out there can answer questions as to who is where and why. I will comment that the Engine 9 you see in the headquarters bay was actually running as Engine 1 on Saturday (11/07) in case anyone was wondering. A nice day to take pictures so I thought I would share. Pretty quiet day overall. A lot of medic calls and no structure fires.

Did the city pay for those or were they given by the county with the renumbering process?

Noticed the new signs too. Sad the city was in a hurry to pay for those signs, but not much else for the department! Just sayin
